Doctor Cha

Beside the median charting Korean title

The median is taken across all 976 Korean titles that reached any country top 10, most of which charted in one or two markets. This is a comparison, not a ranking — we do not publish a league of titles, and a title well above the median is a title that travelled, not a title that is better.

All at once, or one country at a time

It reached 39 markets in all. The most that held it in the same week was 36 — the week of 2023-06-04.

Those two figures are different achievements. Reaching 39 markets over 12 weeks and holding 36 of them in one week are not the same event, and a single "markets" column cannot tell them apart. Netflix publishes neither figure; both are counted here from the weekly country lists.

How it left. Counting each country separately, it ended 40 runs on a chart. The middle one ended from position 8, and 25 of 40 ended from positions 8 to 10. Across all Korean titles that figure is 56.8%, and it would be 30% if leaving had nothing to do with position — how a title leaves has the whole table.

Where it charted — all 39 markets

Markets are in alphabetical order, not in order of size. A market name is a link only where that country has a page of its own; the rest are plain text rather than a link that goes nowhere.

Put this title in context

The same weekly files, cut five other ways. Each of these answers a question this page cannot: not what happened to Doctor Cha, but what happened around it.

• Where Korean titles could actually be watched— charting is the floor on availability, and Netflix publishes nothing else
• Which one did best — three rulers that disagree— reach, staying power and total places name three different winners
• The ones that ran and ran, almost nowhere— long runs in one or two countries, measured rather than guessed
• Everything that charted in 2023— the year this title first held a place
• Every company behind a charting Korean title— 188 of them, and the 147 titles with no credit at all
• Every country, and how Korean its chart is— from 51% in Korea to 1.4% in Iceland

Companies credited on it

From Wikidata, listed alphabetically. A credit is not a share of the work — it records that a company is attached, not how much of the budget or the decision it held. Companies inside one corporate group are listed separately because we did not confirm the ownership tree. The credit type is given in English with the original Korean label in brackets, because that label is what the filing says and translating it away would hide the source.
